Custom Combination Discipline / Technique

Some Cobras are famous for their ability to spit venom and blind their targets. A Serpent of the Light who masters this ability copies the ability of several cobras to do this. The venom spit is toxic and casuistic to any target, alive or undead. If they can land the venom in their eyes the target becomes blinded and has extreme difficulty seeing for a time. Short of the target removing their own eyes, they simply must wait for the venom to wear off. The player must spend a Blood Trait and engage their target in a physical challenge retested with Athletics to spit venom into their targets eyes. If successful the victim suffers the effects of fighting blind for an entire scene. The target is two traits down in all challenges, has a forced retest on all successful challenges, and suffers the negative trait Clumsy. In addition, the venom also causes one level of lethal damage to the target. Even if this damage is healed or reduced in any way, it does not negate the effect of this power. The only way to remove this would be for the victim to remove their own eyes or simply wait until the effects wear off. If used against mortals, these effects are permanent.
